A closed lunch period will be in effect for the school year.  Lunch will be scheduled for students on a staggered basis. Each teacher will explain these procedures to his/her students.  The lunch period should be enjoyable and a time for relaxing.  Those students not wishing to purchase a lunch at school may carry their lunch and must eat it in the cafeteria area.  Payment for lunches will be arranged through the cafeteria.  After you have eaten, your teacher will instruct you when it is time to return to class. Please do not disturb those who are in class.  Students are not to leave the building during lunch except to the courtyard and front area.

Lunch Room Procedures
Skyline School utilizes an automated lunchroom accounting system, which automatically deducts the amount owed for lunches and milk as students go through the lunch line.  It is requested that students pay for food and milk by the month.  This automated system is designed to produce a payment reminder when a student’s prepaid account gets low.  Students eating a school prepared lunch must follow the procedures listed below. A phone call will be made to parents letting them know their student's account balance is approaching zero. Emails will be sent when their balance is below zero. 

1.  Every student eating a school prepared lunch or purchasing milk must have a Lunch ID #. K-5th Grade have a lanyard with their lunch ID # on it. Students need to be wearing their lanyard at each lunch period so they can show the lunch staff their number to be entered into the system.   Students in 6-12th Grade will enter their own lunch # into the system. 

2.  Students are not allowed to charge lunches or use another student’s lunch card.  

3.  Students that don’t have money in their account can borrow from the office for a limited time.
